A barrage of 40 rockets fired into eastern Afghanistan from Pakistan on July 1 led the top border Police Commander for the region, Aminullah Amarkhil, to resign over the Government’s response to weeks of attacks, reports Daily Times. General Amarkhil said he was not able to return fire and could not stand by as people were killed by the shells. “I have submitted my resignation to the Interior Ministry because I can’t see my people being killed by shells fired from Pakistan,” Amarkhil said, adding, “I have promised my people here that the shelling would be stopped, but people are still dying because we have no order from the Central Government to respond”.

Afghan District Governor Wali Shah said on July 1 (today) that Taliban rebels fighting United States (US) troops and the Kabul Government live and operate in safety from Pakistan reports The News. "The Pakistan Government protects the insurgents. When Pakistan says it will crack down on them, it is just pretending," he said, adding, "The Taliban is trained by the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] and launch attacks into Afghanistan. Pakistan doesn't want the violence here to stop. It doesn't want Afghanistan to develop."

Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT), a global Islamist party, on July 1 said that Pakistanis should take to the streets to call for Islamic rule and join a campaign to end subservience to Washington that was advancing “from Indonesia to Tunisia”, reports Daily Times. The party, which claims it is non-violent but is accused by some analysts of seeking a coup in Islamabad, added that “powerful factions” in Pakistan society including the military should also take part, but violence had no place in its work. Party spokesman Taji Mustafa said the party sought to emulate the creation of the first Islamic state in what is now Saudi Arabia by “winning public opinion in favour of Islam” through discussions, marches and rallies.

On July 1 new details emerged of how two Western hostages in Afghanistan were freed in exchange for a hefty ransom paid in Pakistan and the release of two brothers who were abducted on December 30, 2009 by Qari Baryal Taliban faction in Afghanistan’s Kapisa province, reports Daily Times. According to expert and Taliban sources, French journalists Herve Ghesquiere and Stephane Taponier were released in a brokered deal. Though the French Government denied paying any ransom, but Western experts say cash for hostages is routine policy in Europe and interpret the public remarks merely as an attempt to discourage future hostage taking. The Afghan Taliban announced that there was a prisoner exchange for reporter Ghesquiere and cameraman Taponier, but sources close to the case say it was only about the money. “A ransom was paid, an enormous amount of millions of dollars. The money was handed over in Pakistan,” a Taliban member close to central command said on the condition of anonymity, adding, “The money was handed over in the Karkhano smugglers market on the border area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.” In addition, at least two ‘commanders’ in the Qari Baryal faction, identified as brothers Noor Ullah and Abdullah Haq, were released in exchange. However one of these sources said 15 other Taliban militants from different areas were also released in exchange for the two journalists.

The CIA suspended its long-standing use of an air base in Pakistan as a launch site for drones targeting militants of al Qaeda and other militant groups three months ago, reports The News. In a report published in Washington Post, Pakistan in recent days has publicly declared that it "ended" all US flights from the base in the wake of the secret US commando raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in May 1. However, US and Pakistani officials said the launches were halted in April, weeks before the Osama bin Laden raid May 1, after a dispute over a CIA contractor Raymond Allen Davis, who fatally shot two Pakistani citizens in Lahore on January 27. All US drone strikes in the past three months have been launched from Afghanistan, in the vicinity of Jalalabad, according to the officials, who spoke about intelligence matters only on the condition of anonymity.

The US military is expanding its Central Asian supply routes to the war in Afghanistan, fearing that the routes going through Pakistan could be endangered by deteriorating US-Pakistani relations, Daily Times reported on July 2 quoting a Washington Post report. Citing unnamed Pentagon officials, Washington Post said that in 2009, the United States moved 90 percent of its military surface cargo through the port of Karachi and then through mountain passes into Afghanistan. Now almost 40 percent of surface cargo arrives in Afghanistan from the north, along a patchwork of Central Asian rail and road routes that the Pentagon calls the Northern Distribution Network, the report said. The military is pushing to raise the northern network’s share to as much as 75 percent by the end of this year, the paper said. In addition, the US Government is negotiating expanded agreements with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries that would allow for delivery of additional supplies to the Afghan war zone, The Washington Post said.

A military offensive has been launched against militants in central tehsil (revenue unit) of Kurram Agency on July 3 as a result of which families started fleeing the conflict zone, reports Dawn. According to official estimates, over 4,000 families are likely to flee their homes because of the military operation. An unnamed senior official in Peshawar confirmed that a ‘full-fledged operation’ had been launched in the valley. Two weeks ago, the Government had notified 80 square kilometres of the area in central Kurram as conflict zone. “I have no specific details, but operation has started in the mountainous area,” the official said. Central Kurram is adjacent to Tora Bora, reportedly the stronghold of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Militants having lost their positions in Waziristan and other parts of FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have set up their sanctuaries in Central Kurram.

A Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader, Zia-ur-Rahman, was arrested in Islamabad on July 3, reports Times of India. However, there is uncertainty over the exact identity of the TTP leader. Conflicting reports in Pakistan's local media suggested the arrested leader is in-charge of the intelligence network of TTP. He is being questioned for his activities, said one report while adding there is no official word on the arrest. The name of the arrested leader has created confusion as there is another senior TTP leader with the name of Qari Zia-ur-Rahman, who moved to Afghanistan in the wake of major military operation in Bajaur Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in 2008-2009 and is now leading militants in Afghanistan’s Kunar province.

Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency said on July 3 that a senior commander from the Tehreek-e- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sold a suicide bomber named Sher Hassan to Afghanistan’s Haqqani Network, to carry out an attack on a local commander in Eastern Afghanistan, reported Daily Times. The National Directorate of Security (NDS), Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency, said the bomber was a Pakistani national and was detained by NDS agents in Jaji Maidan District of eastern Paktia province before he could carry out his mission. Hassan confessed that he was bought by the Haqqani Network to target “Azizullah”, a commander whose affiliation and rank were not given by the NDS. Hassan then spent a month after his sale training with the Haqqani Network. The detained suicide bomber added that a commander under TTP leader Hakimullah Mehsud sells suicide bombers at PNR 6,000,000 to PNR 8,000,000 ($70,000 to $93,000), to the Haqqani Network for suicide missions.

An unnamed senior Government official said that the militants, who abducted two Swiss tourists from Killi Nigah area in Loralai District of Balochistan on July 1, had taken them to a neighbouring South Waziristan. Officials in the neighbouring South Waziristan tribal area have been asked to keep an eye out for “suspicious elements,” said Balochistan Home Secretary Zafarullah Baloch. “Tribesmen in both areas have also been asked for help,” he said. “The five gunmen were speaking Pashto and drove off with the pair in a green car across the Zhob area of Balochistan and eventually into South Waziristan,” said Zafarullah Baloch.

Osama bin Laden "had some sort of support mechanism" while operating out of Pakistan for six years but there is no evidence so far which indicates that the top leadership in the country knew about it, said United States (US) National Security Advisor Tom Donilon on July 3, reports Indian Express. "The fact is that Osama Bin Laden operated out of Abbottabad, Pakistan for six years or so, in an operational role, leading al Qaeda, in a town 35 miles from Islamabad. It is clear that he had some sort of support mechanism there," said Donilon, adding "I don't think at this point we know all the elements of that support mechanism, and we're still obviously working through that." But, he said he had not seen evidence that Pakistani "leadership elements" had knowledge of bin Laden's presence in Pakistan. "I've not seen any evidence that the Pakistani leadership elements, neither in the army, military, the intelligence or the political leadership, had foreknowledge of Osama bin Laden's operating in Abbottabad, Pakistan," he added.

US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon on July 3 said that the Barrack Obama administration will continue its intense and relentless campaign to debilitate and defeat al Qaeda in South Asia and elsewhere. Tom Donilon said, “Pakistan remains a “very important counter terrorism partner” for the United States and Washington is holding negotiations with Islamabad to sort out issues stemming from the May 2 Abbottabad operation.” “Pakistanis and the United States have a complicated relationship,” he admitted. And there are going to be frustrations and disagreements. We remain engaged with Pakistan for a number of very important reasons related to our national security, and I think, ultimately their security,” he told CNN’s GPS programme aired on July 2.

A former unnamed militant commander said on July 4 that Pakistani generals have not given up the policy of nurturing terrorists, reports Times of India. "That system was still functioning," he told the New York Times referring to the Pakistan military's training and protection of terrorists, adding, "The Government is not interested in eliminating them permanently". "The Pakistani military establishment has become habituated to using proxies. There are two bodies running these affairs: mullahs and retired generals. These people have a very big role still," the unnamed commander added. He also revealed that Pakistan has 12,000 to 14,000 fully trained Kashmiri fighters, scattered throughout various camps in Pakistan, and is "holding them in reserve to use if needed in a war against India", adding, “Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) continues to support even terrorist groups that have turned against the Government because the military still wants to keep them as tools for use against India.”

The resource-starved FATA Disaster Management Authority (FDMA) on July 4 sought assistance from UN agencies for people displaced by the Army operation launched on July 3 against militants in Kurram Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Dawn. An FDMA official said that the authority had requested the World Health Organisation and United Nations Children’s Fund to provide emergency medical kits and other facilities for displaced families, but so far it had received no response. The Federal Government, the sources said, was yet to send relief goods. The FDMA said on its website that 6,000 to 8,000 families would be displaced by the operation. The Provincial Government is providing some relief to people who are arriving at a newly-established camp. “Currently, the FDMA and political administration are coping with the situation well, but resources will be exhausted soon,” it said. According to sources, Security Forces did not face any resistance and cleared three areas, Manato, Domeki and Gawaki, of militants on July 4. The operation is named Koh-i-Sofaid (White Mountain) after the famous mountain range Spin Ghar.

United States (US) officials believe Pakistan’s spy agency was behind the June 1, 2011 killing of Pakistani journalist, Saleem Shahzad, who reported that militants had infiltrated the military, reports Daily Times, quoting the July 4 New York Times report. The report quoted two senior officials as saying that intelligence showed that senior members of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) ordered the killing of Saleem Shahzad, to muzzle criticism. One of the US officials quoted by the New York Times described the actions of the ISI as “barbaric and unacceptable.” It quoted another senior official as saying: “Every indication is that this was a deliberate, targeted killing that was most likely meant to send shock waves through Pakistan’s journalist community and civil society.” The ISI has denied as “baseless” allegations that it was involved in the murder of Shahzad.

Afghanistan’s Security Forces (SFs) will not respond with military force to weeks of cross-border shelling from Pakistan, said Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai on July 5, as the Afghan Parliament called on him to sever ties with Islamabad over the issue, reports Daily Times. Some 300 people also protested against the shelling in Asadabad, the capital of eastern Kunar province, demanding an end to the shelling and calling for revenge. Hundreds of rockets have hit Afghanistan since early June, officials say, and killed dozens of civilians. Karzai said his Interior and Defence Ministers had sought permission to open fire if more rockets landed. But the President refused because returning fire risked creating more innocent victims in Pakistan.

At least 28,000 people have fled a tribal region where the military is conducting Operation Koh-e-Sofaid (White Mountain) to evict terrorists along the Afghan border, reports Daily Times. Thousands of families escaped Kurram Agency in a mass exodus after the offensive was launched on July 4, with the Army saying that artillery and fighter jets had swung into action to drive out terrorists. About 4,000 families, with an average seven members each, had already left, said Government official Sahibzada Anis. However, the Government has not accepted a request by United Nations about sending its mission to Kurram Agency to assess situation and begin humanitarian services in the wake of military operation in the tribal region, reports Dawn. Sources added that the request by UN had not been accepted by the Government owing to security reasons. The World Health Organisation had already dispatched an emergency medical kit to FATA Health Directorate. The kit is enough for treatment of 6,000 persons for one month. “We have also requested WHO to send one more emergency medical kit so that it can be supplied to New Durrani Camp in Kurram,” officials at FATA Health Directorate said.

Canada on July 5 designated the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as a terrorist organisation, reports Dawn. Putting the TTP on the terrorism blacklist is “an essential part of our efforts to combat terrorism and keep our communities safe,” said Vic Toews, Canada’s minister of public safety. He noted the group has claimed responsibility for “multiple” suicide attacks in Pakistan, as well as a May 2010 bombing attempt of New York’s Times Square. The TTP became the 43rd group on Canada’s blacklist, which includes al Qaeda, Colombia’s leftist FARC rebels and Hamas, the Palestinian rulers of the Gaza Strip. The move means that people in Canada and Canadians abroad are prohibited from “knowingly dealing with assets owned or controlled by the TTP” and that it will now be an offence to “knowingly participate in, contribute to or facilitate certain activities of” the outfit.

Chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Hakimullah Mehsud has been in isolation for more than a year and is rapidly losing control over the terror group he once led with absolute command and authority, The Express Tribune quoting his associates and intelligence officials reported on July 5. Insiders of the TTP outfit and intelligence officials in Islamabad told The Express Tribune that Hakimullah might soon be faced with more rebels from within the TTP after last week’s defection by one of his top commanders. Fazal Saeed Haqqani, who was appointed by Hakimullah for the strategic Kurram Agency, announced to separate his group of more than 1,000 fighters from the main outfit in what appeared to be the first serious fracture for the TTP. The defection took place within days after unknown attackers killed a spokesperson for the TTP’s Fidayeen-e-Islam group – the suicide bombing squad. The killing of Shakirullah Shakir, a key figure of the TTP, in Mirali town of North Waziristan has raised questions over how influential Hakimullah still is in the region.

Federal Minister for Interior, Rehman Malik, on July 5, said improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were a “lethal weapon” that needed to be snatched from terrorists to ensure peace in Pakistan and at the same time in the region, reports Daily Times. “Practical measures are being taken with the support of United States to check IEDs, also known as homemade roadside bombs which are responsible for the killing of thousands of people in the country,” he told a joint press briefing. Further, Rehman Malik pointed out that around 11,024 people died and 25,291 were injured in incidents involving IEDs, while 1,972 buildings, 79 bridges, 360 electric poles and 231 railway tracks were also destroyed by IEDs in various areas of Pakistan. Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law William Brownfield said that the main agenda of the strategic dialogue-taking place in Islamabad was to save lives of people around the world, especially Pakistani, Afghani and American lives. According to figures provided by the Inter-Services Intelligence, the number of IED attacks on Pakistani troops and security forces soared from 413 in 2007 to 1,015 in 2010, an increase of 145 percent. The number of attacks from improvised explosive devices in Pakistan has grown by more than 145 percent in the last four years, as expertise in the crude bombs has flowed from terrorists in Iraq to Afghanistan and eventually to Pakistan, an unnamed intelligence official said. “Where this expertise is coming from, probably initially it came from Iraq, and then from Afghanistan and now it’s here,” said an intelligence official. He said there had been a dip in suicide bombings in Pakistan with a correspondent increase in IED attacks, which are increasingly the weapon of choice for terrorists

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Report stated, “June was the most dangerous month in Karachi.” At least 32 people died in just three days as a result of the brawl between the ANP and the MQM, said HRCP chairperson Zohra Yusuf, adding, “The problem lies with law and order and the fact that public opinion often overpowers court decisions. Of the 1,138 people who died this year, 490 were targeted. The MQM sustained the highest casualties: 77 activists. The ANP comes in at a distant second with 29 dead and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) lost 26 men. The reports further states, among those targeted and killed, 250 were not affiliated with political parties, 184 were political activists and 19 were members of religious parties. Fifty-six of the killings were based on ethnicity.

On July 5, 10 people were shot dead and nearly 24 others were wounded in firing in Orangi town. Firing broke out shortly after aasilaints opened fire at the Awami National Party’s (ANP) Rahim Khan Swati in Qasba Colony, critically injuring him. Orangi Superintendent of Police (SP) Khurram Waris said that six people were killed and about 10 were injured. He claimed to have arrested two suspects each from the ANP and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and said more arrests were under way. “It’s nothing. There is nothing to worry about,” he said when he was asked about the situation. “It’s just an [ethno-linguistic] scuffle and the people who died are also [from the two ethno-linguistic groups]. A few are affiliated with political parties,” he added. However, ANP Sindh spokesperson Qadir Khan demanded the Government to take action against the assailants attacking Pashto-speaking people. He said that according to initial reports, four ANP activists have been killed and at least six were injured. He said that more killings were expected and the details were being gathered. “They are picking our men off one by one,” he said. Meanwhile, according to a statement, MQM chief Altaf Hussain said that the citizens of Karachi were being punished as the MQM had left the Government and joined the ranks of the opposition in Sindh.

Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) asked the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to sign a written contract ruling out future attacks inside Pakistani territory, Indian Express quoting The Scotsman reported on July 6. The Scotsman quoting an unnamed senior security official said that the ISI wanted a formal agreement on paper - ruling out future attacks on Pakistani soil, for example - in order to restart the relationship. "Rather than word of mouth or a handshake, we have got to have things written down," he said. "We need to formalise things, saying this is what we will do and this is what you will do." The ISI wants the CIA to sign a written contract that would govern co-operation between the US and Pakistan and rule out unauthorised missions.

Terrorists are showing renewed interest in using a bomb surgically implanted inside a passenger’s body to blow up a commercial flight, though there is no indication an attack is imminent, an unnamed United States (US) security official said on July 6, reports Daily Times. “The Department of Homeland Security has identified a potential threat from terrorists who may be considering surgically implanting explosives or explosive components in humans to conduct terrorist attacks,” added the official. Such a threat is likely to come from overseas rather than domestically, but precautions were being taken on both sides, the official said. The possibility of a suicide bomber attacking with explosives implanted in the person’s body has long been a concern for authorities – and a difficult threat to detect. The official said that the US had recently received credible intelligence that al Qaeda’s Yemeni affiliate, known as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is working on methods to plant bombs inside its operatives.

The United States plans to keep using Shamsi base in Balochistan for non-lethal drone flights against militants near the Afghanistan border despite demands from some Pakistani officials that Washington vacate the base, Dawn quoting an unnamed US officials reported on July 6. The airstrip at Shamsi in Balochistan will continue to be used for some drone surveillance operations, while the CIA, which is principally responsible for the missions, is already using facilities in Afghanistan to launch some armed drone aircraft strikes on targets over the border in Pakistan. “The facility remains fully operational and supports American counterterrorism operations in Pakistan,” officials said. But the official added: “If, for whatever reason, it was no longer available, there are certainly other ways to continue the program and to sustain the intense pressure it’s put on al Qaeda and its militant allies.”

One of Pakistan’s most notorious Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) radio voices, Maulvi Faqir Muhammed, is back on the air after the Army raided his stronghold in 2010 and drove him across the border into Afghanistan, reports Daily Times. Terrorists and their supporters in Pakistan have long used illegal FM radio stations to spread their message and incite violence against the Government. Muhammed was one of the most prominent militant radio personalities before the Army invaded his enclave in 2010 in the Bajaur Agency (FATA), about 200 kilometres northwest of Islamabad. Many of the terrorists in Bajaur, including Muhammed, simply slipped across the border into the Kunar province, an area of Afghanistan where the US has largely withdrawn its troops.

Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik on July 8 said that intelligence reports have identified presence of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Kati Pahari and other areas of Karachi, reports Daily Times. “Intelligence agencies have identified presence of the Taliban in Karachi and the Government is working on it,” Malik said. He added that in order to bring the security situation under control, a new strategy had been evolved under which some “grey” areas of Karachi would be handed over to the Rangers and some to Police. “About 250 officials of the Frontier Corps (FC) have also been called in to assist Police and Rangers,” he said, adding, “We have started targeted actions in the troubled localities. We want to secure every street.” The minister said that 1,000 more paramilitary troops would be deployed to control the situation and if required, additional forces would also be called in from other Provinces. He said the Rangers had been given a ‘free hand’ to conduct raids and operations. “They have been asked to go for encounters when necessary to stop the killings of innocent people,” he further added. Malik also said that presence of intelligence officials has also been stepped up three times to get authentic information against miscreants. He further said that at least 80 people had been killed in the violence since July 5 while the number of injured was over 100. He said that some 173 suspects had been arrested while two alleged assailants had been shot dead. He also claimed that Security Forces had gained control of two terrorist check posts at Kati Pahari. Malik presented details of the raids taking place in various areas, adding that the Baldia Town and Katti Pahari areas were the worst hit by violence, adds Tribune. Malik disclosed that 89 suspects have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the target killings. Out of those arrested, 12 suspects are Urdu-speaking, 19 are Pathan and three are Baloch. He did not specify the ethnic backgrounds of the remaining suspects. He also said that the dead include very few politically-affiliated activists. The minister added that in some places where security forces entered to apprehend the criminal elements, children and elderly residents had been used by them as human shields. He added that security officials have ensured that no civilian lives are lost during the raids. “There is someone who is trying to de stabilise Pakistan,” the minister said, adding, that the terrorists target Karachi as it is the hub of economic activity, and that “enemies are targeting it because it is of strategic importance.”

The NYT Editorial on Saleem Shahzad’s killing said, “Now the Obama Administration has evidence implicating the ISI in this brutal killing.” US officials say new intelligence indicates that senior ISI officials ordered the attack on Journalist Saleem Shahzad on May 31, 2011 to silence him.

Military officials from Pakistan and Afghanistan on July 9 agreed to hold more high-level talks to defuse a row over a series of attacks across their porous border, the Afghanistan Defence Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi said, reports Daily Times. Officials from both militaries and from the United States met in Peshawar to discuss a spike in tensions on the lawless border that has allegedly killed dozens of villagers in recent weeks. Afghan and Pakistani delegations agreed to do what they could “to stop and prevent repetition of the attacks, and to pave the ground for further strengthening of mutual, friendly relations,” said spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi in a statement. “There should be more coordination and high-level talks between the authorities of the two countries to seek solutions for the present problems and future issues,” he said. “Higher delegations will hold talks with each other in the near future.”

Reports in the New York Times criticising the Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is a “direct attack” on Pakistan’s security, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Major General Athar Abbas said on July 9. Major General Athar Abbas repeatedly criticised the New York Times’ reporting and said it was part of a calculated plan by “unnamed officials” to “weaken the state”. “This is a direct attack on our security organisation and intelligence agencies,” he told Reuters in a rare on-the-record in-person interview. “We consider ISI as a strategic intelligence organisation, the first line of our defence.” Abbas was responding specifically to a July 8 editorial that said there was evidence of complicity by the ISI intelligence agency in sheltering Osama bin Laden, of ties to the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people and of involvement in the abduction and murder of Asia Times Online journalist Saleem Shahzad.

The Barrack Obama administration will hold back about $800 million in aid to the Pakistani military because Washington is unhappy with Pakistan’s expulsion of US military trainers and its campaign against militants, Dawn quoting New York Times reported on July 9. The New York Times, citing three US senior officials, said the United States was suspending or canceling USD 800 million in aid and equipment —more than a third of the USD two billion it gives Pakistan for security assistance. About USD 300 million in US funding is to reimburse Pakistan for deploying more than 100,000 troops along the Afghan border to combat Taliban and other militant forces. Other funding covers training and military hardware, New York Times sources said. Pakistan has shut down a US program that had been training paramilitary forces, sending home more than 100 US trainers in recent weeks, and has threatened to close the base the CIA has been using for drone plane attacks on militant targets. “They wanted to tell us, ‘Guys, we’re delivering the message that this is not business as usual and we’ve got this under control,’” one senior Senate aide told New York Times.

US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said on July 9 that he believed Ayman Al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s new ‘chief’, was now living in the tribal areas of Pakistan, reports Dawn. But Leon Panetta also conceded that the most potent threat of future terrorist attacks in the United States came from an al Qaeda offshoot in Yemen, not Pakistan. Talking to journalists before leaving for Kabul on his first visit as Defence Secretary, Mr Panetta said that in one of his last meetings as director of the CIA, he told the ISI chief that the US had a list of targets that it wanted help in pursuing. Mr Zawahiri was “one of those we would like to see the Pakistanis target along with our help,” he said, adding about Pakistan that “we’ve got to continue to push them.” Mr Panetta said the United States was “within reach of strategically defeating Al Qaeda”. “If we can be successful at going after them, I think we can really undermine their ability to do any kind of planning to be able to conduct any kinds of attack on this country,” he added.

Pascal Cuttat, outgoing head of operations in the country for the Swiss-based ICRC, told reporters, “Violence has increased considerably since bin Laden was killed, and has spread into urban areas. We are seeing increasing numbers coming into our medical and orthopaedic centres, more than we have seen for many years.” He said that another effect of bin Laden’s death was an increased suspicion of foreigners, including aid workers.

Malik Ishaq, alleged operational head of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), was on July 11 released from Kotlakhpat Jail in Lahore District after 14 years of detention, reported Daily Times.

Ishaq said that he would continue to fight for the country. Ishaq was accused of masterminding the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team on March 3, 2009 while in prison.

Soon after the ISPR director general’s statement, the US administration, while defending its decision to suspend USD 800 million of military aid to Pakistan, said its “uneasy ally” needed to make a greater effort in the fight against terrorists. “When it comes to our military assistance, we’re not prepared to continue providing that at the pace that we were providing it unless and until we see certain steps taken,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said, adding, the US was particularly “looking to improve our cooperation in counter-terrorism, in counterinsurgency”. “The United States continues to seek a constructive, collaborative, mutually beneficial relationship with Pakistan,” she stressed, adding, “We’ve been talking to Pakistan at all levels about the issues behind these decisions.” Nuland further said, “We are working together on how we can improve our relationship particularly in the categories of counter-terrorism and counterintelligence.” She recalled that on May 25, Islamabad demanded that about 100 US advisers leave Pakistani soil, effectively halting military training, adding, “We obviously can’t do that in an environment where Pakistan has asked our trainers to go.”

The killing of al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden will force the al Qaeda terror network to back away from his grandiose plans for more 9/11-style attacks in favour of more frequent, smaller strikes on easier targets, former US spy Chief Michael Hayden forecast on July 11, according to Daily Times. Hayden also emphasised that the smartest way for America to monitor its enemies would be to keep targeting aides, not the kingpins directly. The deployment of remotely controlled drone aircraft to monitor suspected al Qaeda bases in Afghanistan and, unofficially, in Pakistan was “an absolute war-winner,” he added. The drone footage delivered “an unblinking stare” that allows intelligence analysts to learn the comings and goings of a Khyber Pass village “as well as their own hometown.” “The drones provide us with exquisite intelligence to target individuals who have leadership positions in al Qaeda and to deplete their bench of expertise,” he said.

The Pakistan military said on July 11 that it was capable of fighting without US assistance, reports Daily Times. “The Army in the past as well as at present, has conducted successful military operations using its own resources without any external support whatsoever,” Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General, Major General Athar Abbas, said. US President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, William Daley, had, in a televised interview on July 10, confirmed that “the United States has decided to withhold almost a third of its annual $2.7 billion security assistance to Islamabad”. The suspended aid includes about USD 300 million to reimburse Pakistan for some of the costs of deploying more than 100,000 soldiers along the Afghan border, according to the New York Times.

Pakistan could pull back troops fighting militants near the Afghan border if the United States cuts off aid, Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar said on July 12 in an interview to Reuters, reports Dawn. “If at all things become difficult, we will just get all our forces back,” Mukhtar said, adding, “If Americans refuse to give us money, then okay. I think the next step is that the government or the armed forces will be moving from the border areas. We cannot afford to keep military out in the mountains for such a long period.” Mukhtar later told Reuters Pakistan wanted the money spent on the maintenance of the Army in the tribal areas. “This is what we are demanding,” he said. “It is our own money.” The United States provides hundreds of million of dollars a year to reimburse Pakistan for deploying more than 100,000 troops along the Afghan border to combat militant groups. Other funding covers training and military hardware.

Pakistan informed the Security Council on July 12 that it was taking action to stop any use of children by extremist groups to promote their “nihilistic” agendas, while taking strong exception to an “unwarranted” reference in a United Nations (UN) report to the situation in the country, reported Daily Times. Speaking in a debate on ‘Children and Armed Conflict’, Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon said Pakistan took pride in being actively involved in the protection and promotion of children’s rights at all levels. He sharply criticised Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Report that lists several terrorist attacks by armed groups in Pakistan using children to carry out suicide missions as also some cases of sectarian violence, saying it went beyond the assigned mandate to cover only armed conflicts. The position taken by Pakistan on the report, which is written for the Secretary-General by his special representative for Children and Armed Conflict Radhika Coomaraswamy, was supported by a number of countries, including Russia. The Pakistan’s envoy said the report contained “unwarranted” and “misleading” information about Pakistan to the effect that, among other things, it gave undeserved respectability to terrorists and criminals, which was terribly unfortunate.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on July 12 reiterated his offer of dialogue to exiled Baloch nationalist leaders and said that negotiations are the only way to resolve issues, reports Dawn. “We are ready to hold talks with Baloch leaders living abroad to resolve all issues of Balochistan,” he said. He said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Government pursued the policy of reconciliation to end the politics of confrontation and tried to solve problems through dialogue. But he made it clear that the policy of reconciliation should not be taken as a sign of government’s weakness. Mr Gilani said his Government had fulfilled its promise of restoring the 1973 Constitution to its original shape by adopting the 18th and 19th amendments and giving autonomy to the provinces. He said Bangladesh was created because then East Pakistan had been denied provincial autonomy.

Representatives of the Ahmadi community and Human Rights Activists on July 12 slammed the Government over religiously motivated killing of an Ahmadi advocate, Malik Mabroor Ahmad, while demanding immediate action against the extremists involved, reports Daily Times. Jama’at Ahmadiyya Pakistan spokesperson Saleem-ud-Din stated Mabroor Ahmad was assassinated in a religiously motivated attack on the night of July 11 in Nawabshah District of Sindh province, adding, that such violence results from the continuing hatred that is being spread throughout Pakistan against Jama’at Ahmadiyya. “I call upon the Government to dispense swift justice against the perpetrators of this crime,” Saleem said, adding, “Malik Mabroor Ahmad had survived another bid on his life in 2008 but no action was taken by the local authorities to protect him from the extremists.” He added that District Chief of Jama’at Ahmadiyya Nawabshah, Muhammad Yousaf was assassinated in 2008 while a well known Ahmedi doctor Abdul Manan Siddique also fell prey to the target killers in Mirpurkhas District. But it is unfortunate that not a single killer has been arrested so far.

US intelligence had launched a fake vaccination drive in the Abbottabad town, where it believed al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was hiding, in an effort to gather DNA from members of his family, Guardian reported on July 12, according to Times of India. CIA officials recruited a senior local doctor to organise the campaign after it tracked down Osama bin Laden’s courier and located the compound in which he resided. Before launching the operation against bin Laden, US officials wanted to test DNA samples from people living at the compound with a sample that they had from his sister. Doctor Shakil Afridi, who has since been arrested by Inter-Services Intelligence, launched the programme in Abbottabad's poorest area to make it appear more credible. The project then moved swiftly to the Bilal Town suburb, where bin Laden was residing. "The whole thing was totally irregular," a Pakistani official told the newspaper, adding, "Bilal Town is a well-to-do area. Why would you choose that place to give free vaccines?" A nurse managed to gain access to the compound, but, Pakistani sources claim, she failed to obtain any DNA samples.

Al Qaeda is plotting a jihad (holy war) on the internet against Britain and the West, and has launched teams to target key computer systems, reported Times of India quoting Security officials from Britain in The Sun on July 13. Terrorists have even tried to invade Facebook in their "campaign of electronic warfare". The Google Earth and Street View applications are being used by the terrorists to plan out atrocities, it said. Security officials in Britain say cyber terrorism will become an ever growing threat. A 123-page counter-terror report said a special unit - called the Tariq-bin-Ziyad Brigade (TZB) for Electronic Jihad attacked computers last year. "Since the death of Osama bin Laden on May 1, al Qaeda has called not only for acts of lone or individual terrorism but also for cyber jihad," the report said. Experts now say there are thousands of terrorist-related websites, and a "few dozen are highly influential" and frequented by terrorists. "Use of social network sites and video sharing is now commonplace. There have been a number of attempts by terrorist and extremist groups to invade Facebook," it said.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) on July 13 said that Pakistan Government should immediately act to end the epidemic of killings of suspected Baloch militants and opposition activists by the military, Intelligence Agencies, and the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) in the south western province of Balochistan, reported Daily Times. Across Balochistan, since January 2011, at least 150 people have been abducted and killed and their bodies abandoned – acts widely referred to as “kill and dump” operations, in which Pakistani Security Forces (SFs) engaged in counterinsurgency operations may be responsible. Assailants have also carried out targeted killings of opposition leaders and activists. HRW has extensively documented enforced disappearances by Pakistan’s SFs in Balochistan, including several cases in which those “disappeared” have been found dead. “The surge in unlawful killings of suspected militants and opposition figures in Balochistan has taken the brutality in the province to an unprecedented level,” said Brad Adams, Asia Director at HRW.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that foreign forces and hostile Security Agencies are involved in creating a law and order situation in Balochistan. The Interior Minister claimed that the situation in Balochistan vis-à-vis terrorism was “comparably better than in other provinces.” Over the past three years, 134 Punjabi-speaking people have been killed while another 45 have been killed in sectarian violence, Malik said. While ruling out involvement of Security Forces (SFs) and Intelligence Agencies, the Minister said that 116 bullet-riddled bodies have been recovered in the last two years. Regarding allegations of harassment by the Frontier Corps (FC) and coast guards personnel, Malik said that the Government abolished 35 FC check posts and curtailed the powers of the coast guards. “The FC will be removed once recruitment in provincial forces, including the Police, is completed,” he said.

According to Daily Times, Philippines is assessing whether to seek custody of a top Asian terrorist suspect, who hid for years in its volatile south and allegedly plotted deadly attacks with Filipino militants before he was arrested in Pakistan on January 25, 2011. Philippine officials said that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency officials have offered to send Umar Patek back to Indonesia, his homeland where he is wanted for his alleged role in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, or to the Philippines, where he is accused of involvement in a number of deadly bombings. Pakistan has taken steps to relinquish custody of Patek, whose real name is Anis Alawi Jaffar and his Filipino wife after capturing them on January 25 in Abbottabad. Defence Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said authorities were trying to assess if Patek’s presence could strengthen terrorism-related criminal cases lodged against him in Philippine’s courts before deciding whether to seek his custody. “There is also an additional security burden if he is brought Philippine,” Gazmin said.

Slain al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was aware of the plot in which al Qaeda militants bombed London transport facilities on July 7, 2005 (also known as 7/7), but it was the last successful operation he played a role in, United States (US) Government experts concluded on July 14, reported Indian Express. Circumstantial evidence, including information gathered from Abbottabad hide-out where US Navy SEALs killed bin Laden on May 1, also suggests that bin Laden had advance knowledge of an unsuccessful London-based 2006 plot to simultaneously bomb US-bound transatlantic flights, several US National Security officials said. According to the latest assessments from US and other Western officials support assertions by the Barack Obama Administration, despite years of apparent isolation in Abbottabad, Osama bin Laden still managed to keep in touch with activities, sometimes in considerable detail, of his followers around the world.

The Inter-Services Public Relations Director General (DG) Major General Athar Abbas on July 14 said that there are terrorist safe havens inside Afghanistan, reports Dawn. In an interview with a British media group, he said terrorists from Swat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had found Kunar and Nuristan in Afghanistan to be safe havens and from there they launched cross-border attacks inside Pakistan. General Abbas said militants and their leaders – Fazalullah, Faqir Muhammad, Abdul Wali and Hakimullah – had hideouts in these areas, adding that when NATO was pulling out its troops from the areas, Pakistan had conveyed its well-founded concerns. Commenting on a video showing the killing of 27 troops in a Dir village on June 1, the ISPR chief said the incident was being investigated to trace the culprits. He said 50 to 60 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Swat chapter militants crossed over into Pakistan and killed the Pakistani troops in an attack on their checkpost. He said the militants were led by Hafeezullah alias Kotchwan, Miftahuddin alias Shabbar and three other ‘commanders’ from Toormila.

Balochistan National Party – Mengal (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal said that the Government is neither strong enough nor serious to resolve the Balochistan issue. Speaking at a public meeting at the Shahwani stadium in Quetta by telephone from Dubai said that announcement of packages, formation of jirgas (tribal council) and committees were aimed at deceiving the Baloch people. He said that so far 160 bullet-riddled bodies of Baloch youth had been found in different parts of the province and hundreds of political activists had been put behind bars. “In such dreadful situation how could anyone expect the restoration of normalcy in Balochistan,” Sardar Mengal added. Sardar Mengal said that hardly any day passed without kidnapping of political workers, disappearance of youth, incidents of extra-judicial killing and discovery of bodies. He said that on the one hand the Baloch were facing such misery and on the other “the anti-Baloch rulers are looting resources” of the province.

Pamphlets describing former ‘vice-chief’ of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Maulvi Faqir Mohammad as agent of anti-Pakistan forces were distributed among peace committees of Bajaur and Mohmand Agencies. The pamphlets in Urdu and Pashto on separate papers carry the title “public notice” and read: “Maulvi Faqir Mohammad is a notorious and immoral bargainer of conscience by character. He is enemy of humanity and playing in hands of those powers who want to destroy our motherland. The number one in these anti-Pakistan forces is RAW of India.” The pamphlet further said, “Maulvi Faqir Mohammad had joined hands with the forces working against the interests of Pakistan. The people, who are patriotic sons of this soil and took oath of defending the motherland, should line up against the forces represented by Maulvi Faqir.”

The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials knew about a meeting between al Qaeda ‘leader’ Ayman al-Zawahiri and slain Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘head’ Baitullah Mehsud in 2008 but then "lost" track of the terror mastermind, Times of India reported on July 19 quoting a media report. The meeting, which reportedly took place during the first half of 2008, might have been a precursor to the CIA's drone attacks against Mehsud, which ultimately killed him in August 2009. Officials looking after domestic counter-terrorism efforts said ISI had informed CIA about the interaction between the two terrorist leaders. It was not precisely known whether the meeting took place in South Waziristan Agency, which was completely controlled by the TTP in 2008, or somewhere in Afghanistan.

The Taliban released a video showing the execution of 16 Pakistani Policemen, captured during a raid in June from Pakistan’s Upper Dir District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, reports Dawn. The video shows the Policemen lined up on a hillside, their hands tied behind their backs, standing in front of armed Taliban fighters wearing scarves to hide their faces. One of the fighters accused the men of executing six children. The fighters opened fire on the Policemen and then systematically fired a shot in the head. Upper Dir Police Chief Mir Qasim Khan put the number of victims in the video at 18, saying they were Policemen and paramilitary Police captured on June 1. “It was a pre-dawn attack and that’s why most of them are not wearing uniform,” he told AFP. Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the Policemen were captured when the Taliban staged an attack from Afghanistan in Pakistan’s Upper Dir District in June. The video was published on the LiveLeak website.

Two US citizens have been charged with illegally lobbying the United States for the Pakistan Government and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) over the Kashmir, US authorities said on July 19, reports Dawn. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents arrested Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai (62), in Virginia on charges that he failed to register as an agent of a foreign Government. Zaheer Ahmad (63) was also charged but is believed to be in Pakistan. Both are naturalized US citizens. Pakistan has spent at least USD four million since the mid-1990s lobbying the US Congress and the White House through Fai and the Kashmiri American Council, also known as the Kashmir Center, where Fai served as Executive Director, according to an FBI affidavit filed in US court. An FBI affidavit detailed the alleged scheme in which Fai’s organization received up to USD 700,000 annually from Pakistan to make campaign contributions to US politicians, sponsor conferences and other promotions. “Mr. Fai is accused of a decades-long scheme with one purpose – to hide Pakistan’s involvement behind his efforts to influence the US government’s position on Kashmir,” said Neil MacBride, US Attorney for Eastern Virginia. However, the Pakistan Embassy in Washington issued a statement denying any Government knowledge of such an arrangement. "Mr Fai is not a Pakistani citizen and the government and embassy of Pakistan have no knowledge of the case involving him," the statement said.

A House panel on July 20 pushed ahead on a bill to block United States (US) assistance to Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen and the Palestinian Authority unless the Obama Administration reassures Congress that they are cooperating in the war on terrorism, reports Daily Times. Overall, the bill would cut USD 6.4 billion from Obama’s request of USD 51 billion for the State Department and foreign operations in the next budget. The bill would bar civilian and security aid to Islamabad unless the Secretary of State can certify to Congress that it is pursuing terrorists and helping the US investigate how Osama bin Laden managed to live unscathed deep inside Pakistan. Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said the intent was to put Pakistan “on notice that it is no longer business as usual and that they will be held to account if they continue to refuse to cooperate with our efforts to eliminate the nuclear black market, destroy the remaining elements of Osama Bin Laden’s network and vigorously pursue our counterterrorism objectives.”

An al Qaeda affiliate said on July 20 that it plans to roll out a Disney-like animated cartoon aimed at recruiting children to the terror network, reported Times of India. Scenes from the proposed short film show young boys dressed in battle fatigues and participating in raids, killings and terror plots. It is the latest attempt by the terror organisation to use multimedia to draw in potential recruits. News of the animated film was announced by a group called Abu al-Laith al-Yemen on the Arabic-language al-Shamouk jihadist website, reported the London-based Quilliam Foundation. Quilliam, which was formed by former jihadists and now aims to stamp out extremism, said it appears the group is affiliated with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. "It's a Disney-like film aimed at kids that tells stories of the Prophet, stories of holy wars and anti-Western propaganda," said Noman Benotman, a former jihadist with links to al Qaeda who is now an analyst at Quilliam, adding, "But I think it could backfire. Families will be angry that al Qaeda is directing this at their children.”

Another mass attack by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants will derail Indo-Pak talks and can lead to India striking back against Pakistan, a noted American counter-terrorism expert warned on July 20, reports Indian Express "Another mass LeT attack would at the very least derail the thaw that is taking place between the two countries and could present a situation where you have India preparing for war against Pakistan," Stephen Tankel said, adding, "At the moment, it seems that the Army and the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Agency are taking steps to prevent this from happening, because they don't want another major attack, they don't want war. But as long as LeT exists, the capacity exists to use them for that purpose or there is the possibility that they could launch an attack without sanction if they see a peace deal on the horizon that would lead to their own demobilisation."

United States (US) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on July 20 that Washington expected Islamabad to press Afghan Taliban insurgents to join the reconciliation process in Afghanistan, reported Daily Times. Clinton said, “Pakistan must prevent its territory being used for attacks that destabilise Afghanistan or India, and deny al Qaeda the space to regroup and plan new violence,” adding, “We all need to be on the same page for this to work”. Stressing Washington’s commitment to the war-torn country and India’s concerns over a US troop drawdown from Afghanistan, Clinton said, “Let me be clear, drawing down is not the same as disengaging,” adding, “We will continue targeting terrorists and supporting the Afghan Army and Police and we will continue our efforts to help the Afghan people rebuild after three decades of war”.

A US Congress panel, on July 21, rejected a proposal to cut off all aid to Pakistan due to concerns over the Pakistan’s relationship with terrorists, reports Daily Times. The House Foreign Affairs Committee rejected the measure, with five lawmakers voting yes and 39 voting no. But the bill in its current form would still impose tighter controls over aid, making it contingent on measurable progress by Pakistan. Representative Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican from California, had offered the amendment to a spending bill for the fiscal year starting in October that would have barred any US funds to provide assistance to Pakistan. Rohrabacher raised questions about how Pakistan was using assistance from the United States at a time that Washington is seeking to curb spending to tame a ballooning debt. “We can no longer afford this foolishness,” Rohrabacher said as he introduced a defunding measure in May. “The time has come for us to stop subsidizing those who actively oppose us. Pakistan has shown itself not to be America’s ally,” he said. US President Barack Obama’s administration recently suspended about one-third of its USD 2.7 billion annual defence aid to Pakistan. But it has assured Islamabad it is committed to a five-year, USD 7.5 billion civilian package approved in 2009 that aims to build schools, infrastructure and democratic institutions.

Pakistan nurtured extremist groups to fight "proxy irregular" war against India, while its military benefited from presenting New Delhi as a threat, a top Pentagon official told United States (US) lawmakers on July 21, reports Times of India. "Pakistan has viewed India itself and Indian (or any other nation's) domination of Afghanistan as an existential threat, and has taken steps it believes are necessary to counter this threat, including developing nuclear weapons and nurturing extremist groups to fight proxy irregular warfare," Admiral James A Winnefeld, the next Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, adding, "That the Pakistani military benefits from presenting India as a threat, and that there are many in the military who sympathise with the extremist views of these groups, only reinforces this tendency. Moreover, these groups fought hard against the Soviet during their invasion of Afghanistan, and thus the military bears a certain loyalty to them".

The Hindu reported that “Brylcreem” and “30 plus” were some of the codes used for monetary transactions between Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Fai. In the affidavit submitted by the FBI, investigators said in a conversation Fai's Pakistani handler Javed Azeed Khan had asked him if he had received all the goods. In reply, Fai told him everything had been received except “Brylcreem, 75 milligram”. FBI investigators suspect that was a code for transferring the USD 75,000 demanded by Fai from his ISI handlers for spreading propaganda in the US through his Kashmiri American Council. Next year, Fai used a different code for demanding money from another handler, Ahmed — the famous brand of energy capsules “30 plus”. FBI believes “30 plus” was a code for supplying USD 30,000. “Library in Islamabad” was the code for ISI's Security Directorate, “Tall Man” was ISI Major-General Mumtaz Ahmad Bajwa, who retired on April 30, 2010. Many of these codes were medical terminology. Sometimes it was in publishing lingo — “157 page draft” meant USD 157,000, “last edition” meant the last instalment of the money and “15 copies” meant USD 15,000.

Federal Minister of Interior Rehman Malik, on July 23, emphasised coordinated and concerted efforts to combat terrorism and money laundering from the SAARC region, reports Daily Times. Rehman Malik expressed these views while addressing the fourth South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Interior Ministers’ conference being held in Thimpu from July 21-23. Rehman Malik, who was chairing the conference, suggested that there is need for constitution of a SAARC-pol on the pattern of Interpol. He said there was also need of a SAARC commission with the objective to promote harmony and at the same time a joint task force needs to be formed to control piracy in the Indian Ocean. The minister said Pakistan, its people and armed forces had offered great services and sacrifices in the war against terrorism and to prevent terrorists from fanning out to other parts of the country as well as the whole region. The war against terrorism would continue till its elimination, he added. “Pakistani people are suffering due to terrorism for the last 10-year. We experienced 7,485 bomb explosions out of which 3,800 were suicide bombings. More than 35,000 innocent Pakistanis have lost their precious lives in the war against terror,” he added.

According to Indian Express, months before the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Kashmiri separatist leader Ghulam Nabi Fai, it had forced a Pakistani Consulate official in New York, who spied on Pakistanis living in the US in a systematic Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) campaign, to leave the country. Mohammed Tasleem, a clandestine operative of the ISI, had been posing as an FBI agent to extract information from Pakistanis living in the US and was issuing threats to keep them from speaking openly about Pakistan's Government. His activities were part of what Government officials in Washington, along with a range of Pakistani journalists and scholars; say is a systematic ISI campaign to keep tabs on the Pakistani Diaspora inside America. Tasleem collected information in a variety of ways, and that on at least one occasion he passed himself off as an FBI agent to get information from one Pakistani living in the US, an unnamed American official said. The FBI brought Tasleem's activities to Leon Panetta, then the director of the CIA, and in April 2010, Panetta had a tense conversation with ISI chief Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha. Within days, Tasleem was spirited out of America – a quiet resolution typical of the spy games among the world's powers.

A year-long military-led investigation has concluded that United States (US) taxpayer money has been indirectly funnelled to the Afghan Taliban under a $2.16 billion transportation contract that the US has funded in part to promote Afghan businesses, reported Daily Times quoting an American newspaper The Washington Post on July 25. Citing an unreleased investigation, The Washington Post said the findings provide seemingly definitive evidence that corruption puts US transportation money into Taliban hands. Intelligence officials traced $3.3 million, withdrawn in 27 transactions from the commander’s account, which was transferred to insurgents in the form of weapons, explosives and cash.

Islamabad’s Intelligence Agencies had warned that the Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) was planning an Egypt style uprising in Pakistan by seeking support from ‘like-minded’ elements within the Armed Forces, reported Express Tribune. In a correspondence among the Punjab Police, the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and the Government in April 2011, made available to The Express Tribune, there was a clear warning of the outfit attempting a ‘deep infiltration’ of the military and academia. Wary of its burgeoning network and in what appeared to be an early warning of the group’s growing influence, the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of the Police called for taking ‘appropriate’ steps to control the group that calls for establishing a caliphate in Pakistan by overthrowing the Government. “All were forewarned about what was coming,” an official said. According to the document, HuT was working on a plan to seek an uprising in Pakistan similar to ones in Tunisia and Egypt earlier this year. “They wanted an Arab spring in Pakistan,” said an official familiar with the letter. HuT had regularly been distributing pamphlets and leaflets in middle and upper-middle class residential areas of large cities. Intelligence Agencies warned that HuT was trying to mobilise public opinion in favour of establishing a caliphate in Pakistan by overthrowing the Government.

Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed on July 25 vowed to enter India through Jammu and Kashmir, report Indian Express. Saeed, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks (also known as 26/11), said: "From the door of Kashmir we will launch Gazwah-e-Hind (battle for Hindustan)". Addressing a meeting during a tour of several cities in Pakistan's Punjab province, he claimed that there was a secret agreement between India and Israel to "destroy Pakistan's nuclear assets". Saeed also criticised the United States (US) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), claiming it had set up offices across Pakistan. "The CIA had established offices in every city of Pakistan from where they send reports to the US," he said. On July 22 Saeed visited Bahawalpur District and Multan District of Punjab province to address public meetings and meet JuD activists. Speaking at a "Defence of Pakistan" convention in Multan, Saeed said a time would come when only the religious parties would come forward to save Pakistan.

The United States (US) military chief on July 25 warned that US-Pakistan military-to-military ties were at a ‘very difficult’ crossroads, allowing that a path to progress on that front was not yet clear, reported Daily Times. President Barack Obama’s administration recently suspended about a third of its $2.7 billion annual defence aid to Pakistan in the wake of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden near the country’s main military academy. But it assured Islamabad it is committed to a $7.5 billion civilian assistance package approved in 2009. “We are in a very difficult time right now in our military-to-military relations,” Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen said, “I don’t think that we are close to severing” those ties.

Indian Express on July 28 reported that America's counterterrorism officials believe that al Qaeda is on the brink of collapse. “United States (US) counterterrorism officials are increasingly convinced that the killing of Osama bin Laden on May1 and the toll of seven years of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) drone strikes have pushed al Qaeda to the brink of collapse,” said US officials. US officials said that even its demise would not end the terrorist threat, which is increasingly driven by radicalised individuals as well as aggressive affiliates. Officials said that al Qaeda's offshoot in Yemen is now seen as a greater counter terrorism challenge than the organisation's traditional base. Officials also pointed to the cumulative effect of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan. “Missiles fired by the unmanned aircraft have killed at least 1,200 militants since 2004, including 224 this year, according to figures compiled by the New America Foundation (NAF). Many of the strikes have been aimed at al Qaeda allies also accused of attacking American targets; those allies include the Haqqani Network and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan,” the sources said.

The Pakistan Government should immediately end widespread disappearances of suspected militants and activists by the military, Intelligence Agencies, and the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Balochistan, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report released on July 29 (today), reports Daily Times. Several of those “disappeared” were among the dozens of people extra-judicially executed in recent months in the resource-rich and violence-wracked province. The report states that there is increasing evidence to suggest that many of the “disappeared” have been extra-judicially executed while in Government custody. Human Rights Watch has recently reported on the killing of at least 150 people across Balochistan since January in acts widely referred to as “kill and dump” operations for which Pakistani Security Forces may be responsible.

The United Nations (UN) Security Council on July 29 put the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on its international anti-terrorism sanctions list in a move highlighting the growing threat from the outfit, reports Daily Times.

Britain’s UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant welcomed the addition of the TTP to counter-terrorism list, a moved which has been backed by the Pakistan Government.

Pakistan on July 30 asked the United States to stop the CIA-run unmanned air strikes into its tribal areas, Dawn quoting diplomatic sources reported. According to diplomatic sources, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant-General Shuja Pasha told acting CIA Director Michael J. Morell that the raids had become a major source of embarrassment for the Pakistani Government as it was blamed for failing to stop a foreign power from killing its own citizens. Before this, Pakistan had publicly protested the strikes but had never officially asked the United States to discontinue them, although Pakistani leaders often complained that drones were killing too many innocent civilians. The Pakistanis say that since June 18, 2004, when the CIA began the drone strikes, the unmanned aircraft had killed more than 2,500 people, mostly civilians. The CIA has conducted almost 250 strikes since 2004. The strikes have jumped from fewer than 50 in the Bush administration, to more than 200 strikes since President Barack Obama took office. The US government, however, rejects such claims as incorrect, insisting that drones are extraordinarily accurate. “There hasn’t been a single collateral death” since last year, President Obama’s chief counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan told a recent news briefing.

The White House on July 30 described the US relationship with Pakistan as “essential” to fighting terrorism, noting that Washington works hard on the ties, which are ‘complicated and difficult’ at time, reports Daily Times. “Without addressing specific methods, I would simply say that we believe our relationship with Pakistan is essential to fighting terrorism and terrorists, fighting al Qaeda,” US President Barrack Obama’s spokesman Jay Carney said when asked about the call by former US intelligence chief Admiral (retd) Dennis Blair for an immediate halt to drone attacks against terrorists on the Pakistani soil. “We also make no apologies for the need to go after terrorists, members of al Qaeda, wherever they are. And that is certainly true about the mission to eliminate Osama bin Laden,” Carney replied.

China said on July 31 that Islamic extremists were behind an attack on the eve of Ramazan (Islamic fasting month) in Kashgar city of Xinjiang on August 4, 2008 that left 16 persons dead, reports Dawn. The attack in Kashgar city was the latest violence to shake the region where Muslim Uighurs have long resented the presence of Han Chinese and religious and political controls imposed by Beijing. An initial Police investigation found that the leaders of the group behind the attack had learned about explosives and firearms in Pakistan at a camp of the separatist “East Turkestan Islamic Movement,” a Kashgar Government statement said. “This was another violent terrorist action by a small group of foes organized and planned under special conditions,” the local Government said. Captured suspects had confessed that the ringleaders had earlier fled to Pakistan and joined the “East Turkestan Islamic Movement” and had received firearms and explosives training before infiltrating back into China, it said.

The Chairman of the United States (US) Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen on July 31 said that Haqqani network’s safe havens in Pakistan still posed a risk to the decade-old war effort, reports Daily Times. “The overall goal has been to make it much more difficult for the Haqqani network to penetrate directly in what has previously been called sort of this ‘jet stream’ between Pakistan, right through Khost (province) into Kabul,” Mullen told a news conference in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. “And it is more difficult (now).” He told reporters in Kabul that Washington continued to press Islamabad to go after the safe havens enjoyed by the Haqqani group and other militants. “The safe havens that exist in Pakistan are a central and great risk in terms of the achievement of the overall strategy,” Mullen said. “So we continue to engage on that, continue to bring pressure on that. But I would be hard pressed to tell you time and place, when it’s going to happen.”
